Patient's question:
The child cannot wake up by themselves at night, but there are no other symptoms. A urine test and kidney test were done, and both were normal.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if a child still wets the bed at night after the age of 5, and the frequency reaches more than twice a month, this is medically referred to as "nocturnal enuresis." It is recommended to first check for the possibility of an occult spinal dysraphism. Additionally, be mindful not to overexert during the day, as excessive fatigue at night can make it difficult to wake up when urine is present, leading to bedwetting. Of course, it is also important to avoid drinking too much fluid before bed to reduce nighttime urine output. It is also suggested to buy a timed alarm clock to remind the child to urinate at regular intervals.
